What a tech investor wants for the holidays

My wife recently asked me what I wanted for the holidays. My first instinct was to tell her not to waste

the money on such foolish things. Instead, I thought to tell her, let's plow it all into Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). I mean, we're really going for broke here. All our savings, the second mortgage, the kids' college money. We've got everything in Google. I'm even thinking of changing our last name to Google.

I mean, what's the worse that happens? The kids go to state school instead of my alma mater, Harvard?

But then I saw the light (Hat tip to BornRich.org). Hollandia, an Israeli furniture firm branded as producing the most technologically advanced beds on the planet, has introduced The Platinum-Luxe Elite bed. Well, not much in terms of a name, but hey, Google doesn't mean much, either.

This puppy's got a retractable 32-inch Sony Bravia HDTV integrated into the bed's footboard and has the brightness dynamically adjust to the ambient light, to reduce eye strain.

After I'm done watching Google soar on CNBC, I can kick back and listen to some great new Eddie Vedder music for the movie, Into the Wild on the Sony Bravia theater system that includes a five DVD/CD changer, a five speaker surround sound system complete with a subwoofer under the bed -- of course there's an iPod docking station as well.

Of course, the bed has all kinds of bells and whistles in terms of mattress technology, including a massage systems that synchs up with the sound system.

I can't wait for Google to hit $1000.
